Riley Gaines speaks out after two trans runners fail to appear at California high school race amid controversy

Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gaines weighs in on conservatives calling for a Target boycott after it rolled out 'tuck-friendly' swimsuits on 'Fox News @ Night.'

Former college swimmer Riley Gaines called out a pair of transgender athletes who qualified for the California high school preliminary finals race but ultimately chose not to attend the event.

During her time at the University of Kentucky, Gaines swam competitively against Lia Thomas. After winning the 2022 Division I women's national championship, Thomas quickly became a focal point of the debate over who should compete in women's sports.

Thomas was a member of the University of Pennsylvania's men's swimming team for three seasons before switching over to the women's team after a gap year when the Ivy League canceled the 2020-21 sports season due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Since then, Gaines has been outspoken about her position on competition in women's sports. On Friday, she took to twitter and questioned whether the high school runners discovered had that they "clearly possess an unfair advantage."

Gaines, 12-time NCAA All-American swimmer, has consistently argued that transgender athletes' participation in school sports will discourage others from competing.

Athena Ryan finished in second-place in last week's 1,600m race in California. Ryan, who was born male and transitioned to female, competed on the boys team until 2021.
